Our Mission

The Mission of the Institute is to provide an independent forum for those who dare to read, think, speak, and write in order to advance the professional, literary, and scientific understanding of sea power and other issues critical to national defense.

Will Your Company Participate in Defense Forum Washington?

It's not too late to participate as a sponsor in Defense Forum Washington (DFW) on Wednesday, 17 September. The topic of this year's joint production between the Naval Institute and the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) is "Measuring Success: Keeping Faith with Wounded Warriors and Their Families." Conference details are available at DefenseForumWashington.com.

Corporate partnerships offer exposure to members of Congress, military leaders, experts in health care, and more than 500 interested attendees who will gather for a day-long interactive discussion of Armed Forces health issues.
